Can I sew denim material on this machine without problems?

I haven't tried yet, since I just got my machine. While I was researching machines I found a you tube video demonstrating sewing a seam like jeans have on denim and then he folded it up twice like a hem and it sewed great.

Trisha, Buttonholes can not be done on this machine. This is an Embroidery Only machine. Thank you,

You can make a buttonhole with it but it does not have a buttonhole feature on the machine. This is a very basic machine but does sew well.

The SINGER 8763 Curvy computerized sewing machine is capable of sewing heavier fabrics such as denim, canvas, twill, duck cloth, etc. It is recommended that you also use a needle that is designed for sewing heavier fabrics, such as a SINGER needle size 16, or possibly size 18, depending on the weight or thickness of the fabric being sewn. The instruction manual also includes a Needle/Fabric/Thread recommendation chart for your convenience.

My Touch & Sew is Model 600E from the 1960s. I wasn't able to find bobbins that worked in it either in local fabric stores or thru Amazon.com. I finally took the machine to a reputable local sewing machine repair shop for servicing. I was promised that with servicing and the proper bobbins (which they sold), the bobbins would wind. So far so good. The bobbins, at .$75 each, were called "white line" bobbins by the shop owner. I'm buying all they have!

Not for quilting. Difficult to use, and often have trouble with it. For plain sewing, I'd suggest something like The Denim Star sold at Walmart.

I haven't had any problems, however, I'm very careful when sewing with fabrics such as heavy denim, using extra caution when sewing over the multi-layered seams. The machine does not skip stitches and I am very happy with the quality of the stitching.

I have had very good success, especially in machine applique in quilting. Not sure about apparel unless you are applique work. Don't use it for seams. It's for decorative purposes.

I love my Janome . I mainly use it for quilting, but also do a lot of alterations for friends and family. Working with thick fabric and seams on blue jeans is the worst, but my janome goes over those seams, well, seamlessly! Haha. Seriously, my Janome has an even feed system that works like a charm on thick fabrics. Hope this info helps. CB

Check your instruction manual and also take a look at the needles that came with your machine. If you're using a standard sewing machine needle (which I'm guessing you are) then the Schmetz Jean & Denim needle will fit and work with your machine. I use the Jean & Denim needle in my Janome and it works like a charm. You might want to slow down the speed on your stitching if you're sewing heavy fabric. Good Luck!

I'm so sorry I can't help with this question. I bought this machine to try and teach myself how to sew. so I really don't know anything about sewing or different machines at all. I know I'm in the minority so you should get some answers from qualified people. Good luck.

I have never tried it on a regular sewing machine but I don't think it would sew the same.

Having never used a sewing machine I can only answer with an opinion. First it is highly unlikely that the sewing would fall off the risers or become unstable. If you require the same level if solid stability you have with the machine on the floor, then I feel it is unlikely to work for you. It will also depend on if the wheels have solid locking mechanism's. If the wheels do not lock there will be more movement. I hope this round about answer is helpful.

yes I do! but you have to make sure you use a denim needle and it should be a new needle---replaced everytime you have a denim job to do. a big part of the reason I bought it was to hem my jeans.... hope this helps!!

Absolutely!! I got this machine when I was 18 as my very first sewing machine. I am completely self taught and still have this machine after 7 years, and I do use it quite a lot! Read the manual very carefully and always consider checking online for tutorials and instructions on basic sewing. I highly recommend to save yourself some troubleshooting that you always change needles with each project to the proper weight and type of needle and only use Gutterman or Metteler brand thread. (Don't use Coats & Clark or dollar store/cheap thread, cuz it will break and wind itself on the inside of your machine.)

No, I sewed some on. There is a way to put them on without sewing, but I could never figure it out. Cabelas tried to explain it to me and you might find some help there. I used monofilament line and it works fine.
